U ashington sineu the outbreak of the
war has developed a neW strain of
this species; it is the "get me man."
The national capital is overflowing
with the people who are here to get
something. Hundreds of young men
have flooded in the tity and beseiged
their congressman arid other "back
home- officials to get them commis-

strangers. This man claimed his ex-

down.
A direct opposite instance and one
which these men say shows discrimi-
nation, is citeil in the eases of two
Drumright business men whose finan-

claimed exemption on the grounds
of having dependent wives, and the
exemptions were allowed.
We arc going to the bottom of
these exemptions," -ne of the delega-

been exempting people because they
have money and influence, and ac-
cepting men who should be left to
take care of their wives and babies.
